One man show:MICHAEL KELSEY

Dr. J brought to my attention this guy, Michael Kelsey, that of course, I didn’t know about! I found him to be a great acoustic guitar player, as his website (michaelkelsey.com) says:

MICHAEL KELSEY cannot be limited to a simple description. When you listen to his music and see him perform live you’re witnessing more than a just another singer-songwriter. You’re watching a rhythmic, inspired guitarist and performance artist who brews soul, funk and even a little bit of the blues into a guitar festival of organic sound. Multi-instrumentalist Kelsey has been known to blend many musical genres with fervor and grace. When he hits the stage to perform, he plays every inch of his guitar and makes it sing, soar, pop and ping–by strumming it, pounding it and pulling every part of it or anything else an arm’s length or foot kick away. He has created a style that he described best as “progressive-aggressive acoustic guitar,” and he has only begun to make a first impression.

He sings, plays the rhythm, solo, bass guitar and drums at the same time on the same acoustic guitar. But beyond words, there is music so I suggest you the same video Dr. J suggested to me, Slow movin’ train.

Enjoy!
